create a duplicate layer, then apply the USM sharpening settings. You will probably want to paint out some of the effect over the more contrasty, richer colors in the foreground and/or bottom of your images.

Do you use another program as primary for processing? You could try a bit of + clarity and contrast with a brush in LR, eg.
